I have had two major surprises in my life of late that have led me to believe that sometimes good things do happen, even when you have given up all hope. I certainly never considered myself worthy of either a good graduate school or a good guy. And I still stand by the view that it's better to expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised than to be optimistic and get disappointed. But there is a tiny little happy voice inside me that has mostly lied dormant for awhile, and I think it's screaming now! I better stop with this positive stuff or else I'm just going to either jinx myself or make myself want to puke.
